Fleet 651 negotiates the left turn bus lane at North Road, Gloucester Place with a southbound service.
Three Sea King helicopters, based at "HMS Gannet" (Prestwick) made a farewell flight over their operational range this afternoon, which included Edinburgh. Looked like to Sea Kings MK5, red and white, and one Sea King Mk4, green, "the junglie". Much updated, these are basically very old helicopters, and have been replaced by moden civilian operation, run by Bristow Helicopers, still based at Prestwick, and taking over some of the old personnel.
They flew down Princes Street from west to east, circled Arthur's Seat, passed over the Castle, and went on their way. The two MK5 Sea Kings flew close together as a pair, the Junglie moved around them at a distance, my guess is providing photo coverage.
Photographed from the top of the Scott Monument using a Minolta 80-200m f2.8. The top landing is pretty cramped with barely enough room for two people to squeeze past each other, so I shot handheld.

These shots were on slides given to me a long time back, and which I I have only recently managed to "develop" thanks to the gift of an elderly scanner with slide/negative capability. They nicely depict the early styles of Northern Constabulary vehicle livery.
NORTHERN CONSTABULARY VEHICLE LIVERY
At the outset in May 1975, at the creation of Northern Constabulary, there was no definitive livery set in respect t of the force’s marked vehicle fleet.
PERIOD 1 (1975-1980) plain era (CC: Henderson)
Traffic patrol vehicles, and - over time – various other vehicles most likely to patrol major roads and/or attend incidents thereon, were fitted with a broad reflective orange stripe, edged with blue tape. Other GP (= General Purpose) vehicles were plain white (or also in the case of some vans - blue, whether navy, royal or light according to what were available for purchase). A white on blue plate, or blue reflective lettering (red on rear) was applied to the front and rear of all vehicles. All marked vehicles had only a single blue rotating beacon at that time, unless twin-beacons came as part of a roof box.
PERIOD 2 (1980-1995) roundel era (CC: Henderson/MacMillan)
During 1979 Superintendent George Henderson designed a Force Badge, which was taken into use at the beginning of 1980. As well as use as epaulette insignia and on official stationery, the circular design was printed in black on white reflective material and applied to the driver’s and front passenger doors of all marked vehicles in the Force. Traffic and other “trunk road” vehicles continued to bear the orange stripe along their length. The first issue decal was of 12 inch diameter and was intended to be sited right in the centre of the door panel. As vehicle design evolved however , and door/wing protective strips became part and parcel of vehicles, so it was found that the large door decal could no longer be fitted appropriately without cutting the design. Accordingly a revised version of the decal was produced, of 8 inch diameter, and would if necessary be applied over the orange reflective stripe to ensure the decal was proud of the door protective strip.
PERIOD 3 (1996-2005) blue stripe era (CC: Robertson/Latimer)
In order to create a “corporate identity” for the force, Chief Constable Robertson commissioned a project to produce a new corporate livery. By this time the "12 Sub Divisions and 3 Divisions" model had become obsolete (but was subsequently re-invented!) so the border of the Force Badge was no longer appropriate – albeit the epaulette insignia was never changed. This revamping involved focusing upon the centrepiece of the badge – the St Andrews Cross with 4 Celtic knots, and using that device within its circle, on a vertical blue stripe. The Force title in large lettering, and continued use of the bilingual motto (although initially a corporate slogan was to replace same) appeared to its right. This design was accompanied by a change to yellow (bordered with blue) reflective stripe the length of the vehicle - with a suitable gap for where the new logo would appear. An experiment was subsequently attempted, using a silver-grey car but it was found that the logo was woefully ineffective on a background colour other than white and the use of silver or grey vehicles for marked duty was not re-visited until "Battenberg" days. A few of the older vehicles which already had orange stripe were rebadged with stripe left in situ, but all other vehicles including GP ones were quickly re-liveried, a move which went down well with the rank-and-file. There can be little doubt that this livery was the smartest of any ever used in the Highlands and Islands.
PERIOD 4 (2005 – 2013) Battenberg era (CC: Latimer/Graham)
The results of the Home Office Scientific Branch research into Police vehicle visibility resulted in their 2004 Report: “High Conspicuity Livery for Police Vehicles. The report (14/04) carried on from previous research which had seen the “Battenberg” livery introduced from 1998 in an number of UK Police forces for Traffic vehicles. The report found that the Battenberg design , being a “diced band” two deep of alternating blue and yellow cubes, taking up almost the entire height of the vehicle’s side bodywork was the optimum design, and should be adopted for road patrol vehicles. Half Battenberg (one deep stripe of alternating blue and yellow along the length of the vehicle, with large blue lettering POLICE below) was recommended for GP vehicles. This proposal was accepted by ACPO and ACPOS and in late 2005 Northern Constabulary began to adopt that style. Excising Road Policing Unit (formerly Traffic) vehicles were immediately re-liveried to Battenberg, while all new GP vehicles entering the fleet from then on would be liveried as half Battenberg as part of their setting up. Existing GP vehicles would continue to bear their existing livery and thus the new livery would gradually be fully introduced through natural attrition. Force identify on the new livery would be maintained by means of a much smaller version of the corporate logo/title on the leading yellow cube on the driver and front passenger door.
In preparation for the 2013 amalgamation of all Scottish Police forces into “Police Scotland”, the Force logo/title was not applied to new GP vehicles from 2011 onwards, although the URL of the Force website was displayed in a transfer on the both rear side door pillars.
Stored vehicles in the former Tyburn Road Works in Birmingham on 7th September 1994.
Nearest the camera, are two Dodge minibuses, which had been on hire to the former Manchester based independent Pennine Blue, and had likely been returned to WMT after the PMT takeover of the company.
2559, the fire damaged Metrobus, I seem to recall, was one several buses that had been severely damaged in an arson attack on Hockley Garage, Birmingham a few weeks prior to this picture being taken
To the right of the picture is 6660, one of several Fleetlines that had been on hire to 'Rest & Ride', a short lived Liverpool based concern that had been started by a 16-year boy, and backed by billionaire, Richard Branson.
Not much else to say about the picture, other than Tyburn Road still stands, but is currently used as a base by haulage company Palletline.
While visiting Mystic Beach, don't worry so much about sharks, or rogue waves, or even getting run over while your lying on the beach, but make sure you bring your fancy sunglasses, and a hat won't hurt.
It gets bright down here, and next thing you know, you might wind up a little too close and personal with the vehicle in front of you.

A pleasant surprise for me, and the first photo of this vehicle in service in York. On loan for a week in exchange for 719 from Burnley & Pendle, Optare Solo minibus MX54 KYF is on the SS.1 Study Shuttle service with Chris at the wheel between duties at the Morell Library Bridge - Chris had also taken the time to set the numeric roller blinds on all the displays to SS1.
This alternative nightbus service runs from the Morell Library Bridge in a loop along Green Dykes Lane, Melrosegate full length to a tight turn at the junction with Tang Hall Lane into that road, Hull Road, Heslington East, Field Lane, Main Street, Fulford Broadway, Fulford Road, Fawcett Street, Kent Street, Heslington Road, University Hill and back to the library bridge. The service has had very few if any passengers these last two weeks, and so it makes sense to use a Solo instead of a full sized bus as then it makes the turn at the end of Melrosegate much easier.
It is worthy of note that York's two ex-Veolia Solo's end their lease in September, so 1254 and 1255 could be replacing them. I wonder if this will turn up on the 20 whilst it's here...

At this time, the Crescent is being reduced in size prior to continuing to New Orleans. In the background on the upper level you can see the old Peachtree Station building that is used with the plaforms seen below. Much highway and new building construction was occurring in this area during this time period. You can see by the haze in the background that this was a hot day. In the foreground you can see the old out of service station platform roadway overpass bridge.

Toyota Celica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Toyota Celica /ˈsɛlɨkə/ is a sport compact car which was produced by the Japanese company Toyota from 1970 to 2006. The Celica name was ultimately derived from the Latin word coelica meaning "heavenly" or "celestial". In Japan, the Celica was exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships Toyota Corolla Store.
Throughout its life span the Celica has been powered by various four-cylinder engines.
The most significant change occurred in August 1985, when the car's drive layout was changed from rear wheel drive to front wheel drive. During the first three generations, American market Celicas were powered by various versions of Toyota's R series engines. The four-wheel drive turbocharged model called GT-Four worldwide (All-Trac Turbo in the US) was produced from 1986 to 1999.
Variable Valve Timing came in certain Japanese models starting in December 1997, and became standard in all models from 2000-on. Through seven generations, the model has gone through many revisions and design forks, including the Toyota Celica Supra (later known as the Toyota Supra). The Celica was available as notchback and liftback coupes, as well as a convertible."
- First generation / A20 & A35 Series (1970–1977)
- Second generation / A40 & A50 Series (1977–1981)
- Third generation / A60 Series (1981–1985)
- Fourth generation / T160 Series (1985–1989)
- Fifth generation / T180 Series (1989–1993)
- Sixth generation / T200 Series (1993–1999)
- Seventh generation / T230 series (1999–2006)
"In late 1999, Toyota began production and sales of the seventh-generation Celica. It closely resembled the XYR concept with the exception of the front bumper and rear spoiler, while omitting the previously available coupe bodystyle.
The 2000 model year Celica was an element of Toyota Project Genesis, an effort to bring younger buyers to the marque in the United States. Toyota took time to lighten the car and lower cost wherever possible. Power window and door lock controls were placed in the center console so only 1 set was necessary for both doors. Initial sunroofs were made of polymer plastic instead of the traditional glass. This generation was assembled by Kanto Auto Works at its Higashi-Fuji plant in Susono, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
The Celica came in two different models. The ZZT230 was powered by a relatively economical 1.8 L 4-cylinder 140 hp (104 kW) 1ZZ-FE engine and the ZZT231 powered by a higher-performance 1.8 L 4-cylinder 192 hp (143 kW) (in Europe and Japan) 2ZZ-GE version, co-developed with Yamaha, the latter featuring a two-step variable valve lift control in conjunction with its variable valve timing.
In 2004, CNNMoney.com rated the Celica as one of the best cars to purchase for fuel economy.
Exporting of the Celica ceased in July 2005. However until mid-May, customers could still order one, although it was advised they took action before that time ended.
The last Celica was rolled off production line on April 21, 2006. In its last year, the Celica was only officially sold in Japan."

There are a few old vehicles parked up at the Royal Albert Dock Liverpool that appear to be permanent fixtures as they always seems to be there, even at night.
This Citroën HY was a new addition to the area. My camera doesn't do the colour scheme justice - the orange was VERY bright.
I have to say, I've never seen a caterer specialising in Cheese on Toast before!

Flickr sure makes it worthwhile taking photos of absolutely anything. There's always a group to add an image of someting to. There are plenty of groups for emergency vehicles - so let's have an ambulance photo.
A quick grab shot of a private ambulance in Scunthorpe. I was on my way to photograph something else when I heard sirens getting closer. This ambulance swung around the mini roundabout although not sure if it was on a 'run' or doing driver training. Just seemed to be in an odd area of town to be on a jobl. I may be wrong though.

Can you identify this vehicle? Clues, it is amphibious, but based on a 4 wheel drive vehicle.......
Well, it is a GAZ 46 from the USSR, based on the better known GAZ 69.
